pyHesiodFS Should Fail Gracefully When Network is Down

Description

(submitted by Greg Price)

When the automounter gets invoked and I don't have network (say because I just unsuspended and am still getting on wireless) the resulting error message / errno is less than enlightening. 

$ ls /mit/freeculture/
ls: /mit/freeculture/: Invalid argument

Probably the fuse fs can fix this by returning a more informative error code. ETIMEDOUT "Operation timed out"? ENONET "Machine is not on the network" (if you can tell that's the actual problem)?

Thanks! Greg

pyDNS raises DNS.Base.DNSError, 'Timeout', if that helps
